I’m sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views

Update: I have hidden channel names in the interest of letting people know this is criticizing the tr(ul)end, and not any specific YouTubers

Edit: If you’re here to discuss any particular YouTuber, please scroll down. I’ve already had this discussion, and I have nothing more to consider or add regarding this derailment. I’ve fixed the problem by posting an edited image. Thank you so much!

    I think chubbyemu gets a pass because his titles are accurate, not just bait. At least every video I’ve ever watched from him, it’s been exactly what it says on the tin. Hardly a “bait”. The others? Yeah, probably shit and I’d say 50/50 they’re actively trying to… Well, bait clicks from chubbyemus vids to theirs.

      Well…kinda. They’re always technically true, but sometimes it’s like “turns out she actually had aids for years and never knew”
